A car has crashed into the central reservation on the eastbound carriageway at Whiddon Down near Okehampton.

Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed that no injuries have been sustained and no ambulance called. It is likely the carriageway will be blocked for some time while police deal with the damage. The incident happened just before 5pm.

Meanwhile on the westbound carriageway two cars have gone into the hedge on the side of the road.

It is understood from eye witnesses that more vehicles may have been involved in this incident.

It is unclear at this stage what injuries have been sustained in the crash but an ambulance is on the scene.

We are waiting to hear back from police with more details.

An eyewitness said: “I was just dropping my friend off in Okehampton and there are two crashes on both sides of the road with police and paramedics in attendance.

“The first one is going towards Okehampton on the A30 just before the Whiddown Down turn off.

“The second is going towards Exeter on the A30 past the Owl and Pussycat roadside diner about one and a half miles before the turn off for Exeter.

“First accident before the Whiddon Down turn off I witnessed four cars with one in the central reservation, the second there were three cars with one in the central reservation.”
